The Catholic Development Fund is not subject to normal requirements to have a prospectus and trust deed under the Corporations Law and the Catholic Development Fund has not been examined by the Australian Securities and Insurance Commission. This is because an investment with the Catholic Development Fund is designed for those persons who wish to promote the educational, religious and charitable activities of the Catholic community and for whom the considerations of profit are not of primary relevance in their investment decision. Neither the Catholic Development Fund or the Catholic Archdiocese of Adelaide are prudentially supervised by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority. Deposits with the Catholic Development Fund do not receive the benefit of the depositor protection provisions of the Banking Act 1959 but are guaranteed by CDPF Limited, a company established by the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference for this purpose. The Archbishop, as sole Trustee of the Roman Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Adelaide, has indemnified the Catholic Development Fund against any liability arising out of a claim by investors in the Fund through the CDPF Limited.
